Literary Page - The Lightning Thief

In The Lightning Thief, Percy Jackson is attacked by many monsters, who are secretly hidden by the Mist, which prevents mortals from seeing them. Percy finds out he is a son of Poseidon, and is being hunted down. He is sent to Camp Half-Blood, a safe haven for all demigods. He shows his potential through training lessons and games of capture the flag, and is sent on a journey to find the mighty and lethal lightning bolt of Zeus, who seems to despise Percy the most, as there was a pact between the Big 3 (Zeus, Poseidon and Hades) that they would not have any more children with mortals. So, Percy sees this as a chance to make his amends with the Big 3, and finally meet his dad. He searches for the bolt with his best friend Grover, a satyr, and Annabeth Chase, a girl he met at Camp Half-Blood. Percy develops his powers and learns how to use water to his advantage.
